[Power] The new 10 watt panel from iLoveMyXO in the wild

[Mike Lee]

All,

Here are photos and notes from several sessions of testing the new
regulated 10 watt solar panel now being sold by iLoveMyXO.com.

It meets my prior performance expectations. In November sun in the
Washington, D.C. area, it is taking around 2 1/2 hours of peak mid-day
light to get about 50% charge from empty on both the XO-1 and
production XO-1.5.

There are a couple video clips of the oscillation noises in the photo
set. The noise was quite noticeable when charging the XO-1.5. Cici and
I took the opportunity to use the set-up as a Light Theremin:

Barring any major issues, I will do a blog post to promote the
purchase of these panels.
